Saksansin has the game, pursuit best suited to this course and should be around in the latter stages of this one, so looks a good bet to me.

Union Island rattled off a turf three-timer around this time last year. If you are prepared to forgive the misfire last time out at Doncaster, we've got one that is now back at last winning mark and could give us a run for our money. Promising claimer takes further weight off, so he's got a chance if bouncing back.

Lancs v Yorkshire Roses contest here. I think Bradford might be good enough to pick up a result in the first leg. Likely to be a close-run thing over both legs.

-50
If you are prepared to forgive the last-time-out run from Rage of Thunder, he has plenty of credentials that tick the boxes here. That run was after a long time off and over a shorter trip than usual, so it probably served as a tune-up. Very solid six-furlong form on the turf last year from higher in the weights, and he should be able to kick on this year at some point.

We'll give O Fortuna another look, despite a total flunk last time out at Beverley. This looks an easier race than that, and he's three pounds lighter than the promising handicap debut at Catterick in April. Not sure what happened in the last run, but I'm prepared to forgive and forget that one, and hopefully the addition of cheekpieces does the trick.

Ineffective on the all-weather, but a different prospect on turf for Degale, so he looks an intriguing outsider in this field. Just beaten from five pounds higher in the weights in his only previous turf handicap at Haydock last August. Tends to get away smartly, which could also benefit over this trip, and has each-way claims at the very least.
15:00 Stevenage v Stockport
Draw
50 WIN
@+225

-50
I think there's every chance of a draw in this first leg of this one. It is likely to be a cagey encounter and difficult to call, so maybe this goes to the second match all square.

-50
I think Edward Bethell has a couple of well-suited outsiders to track in the Victoria Cup at Ascot. Callum Rodriguez rode stablemate Yorkshire last season but switches to Khafiz today. He showed up pretty smartly on his first run back and should progress this season. One or both may hit the frame from favourable stall positions.

I think Edward Bethell has a couple of well-suited outsiders to track in the Victoria Cup at Ascot. Yorkshire wasn't disgraced in two big-field course-and-distance handicaps the last two runs, drops further in the weights here, and has form when fresh.

I think Southampton are probably the team to plump for in the Championship play-offs. They can get a positive result here and finish the job at St Mary's.

There are not many winners in here, so the fact that Miss Magic Dragon has passed that particular test is worthy of consideration. A six-pound penalty is possible to overcome with further improvement.

-50
Evoluir is a touch hit-and-miss and comes in at a workable handicap mark based on recent performances on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton. Looks handily drawn and could get involved if we catch a going day. The starts of late have been a worry, but everything could fall into place sooner or later, and he's considered each-way.

Littler has been dominating of late but does have the odd off night, and van Gerwen might be able to blow this one open with a win here.

Soames Forsyte is a pound below his last winning mark, which was over this trip as recently as January, so I don't think you can write him off too readily here. He has some decent form at Southwell and needs one or two things to go his way, but there are definitely each-way claims if the race is run to suit.

Tupero was in a funny-looking four-runner race when three of the field let the other give them the slip and couldn't recover. He could bounce back here from a mark and grade that still look manageable.

Stable seem to do well when they have them in form, so Dapper Valley is worthy of consideration here, even though this is a step up to a different level. The claimer takes off a chunk of the penalty for the win last time out.

There are a few vulnerable seeds here in round two, and Tauson, who has had an ordinary start to 2026, is certainly one. Oliynykova was dominant on clay last season and is good enough to take this.

I just think McNally has generally been the better player on clay in recent seasons. Even though the two look evenly matched, I think McNally will get the better of this match and should be the favorite.

Svrcina has nap potential here. He's in much better form than Kecmanovic, who has been below par on clay for a while and has yet to win one on the surface in 2026.

Jesper De Jong

I think De Jong is probably worth a punt at the price, as Borges has been fairly ineffective both this season and on clay for around 18 months. If both play at their best this season, De Jong should win.

I had this one pretty evenly matched when assessing the form, so Carreno Busta, who has started 2026 in really good form, could be good enough to take this.

Boisson had a fairytale run to the French Open semis last year but has been blighted by injury since and only played her first match of 2026 last week. That said, I think she'll be getting back to fitness and is therefore chanced at this price to win.

Kopriva looks a decent punt at the price here. It's been a sluggish year so far for Marozsan, and I think Kopriva looks in slightly better shape and the more likely winner.

Tubello is in slightly better form on clay, I think, and has a very good W/L record on the surface. Statistically she looks like she'll be able to match Yaneva, and she has a chance here.

I like the Cardinals with the home advantage here. They headed into this off the back of a series win over LA and won the first match of this homestand. It looks like the home side should be more heavily favored.

Not many regular winners in here, so STARLINER, who ran well on return to turf last time out, is taken to land this one. Now on a much reduced turf mark after the all-weather campaign and will probably win one soon.

With some good course form and a win from fresh before, ZEBRA STAR might be able to outrun this price. This trainer has a few out tomorrow, with a number making their first run back from a break. Of them, it's probably this one that looks the best of the bunch. Back to last winning mark and has a claimer taking further weight off. Veteran stablemate Glasses Up might need another run before fully in tune now he's 11, so maybe this is the yard's best chance.

Chicago all day for me here at this price. They have been poor for a few seasons now, but I do think this has led them to being underestimated in a lot of markets. I think they are worth tracking when they are the underdog until the market readjusts.
